They would hide the frame pretty well. But they wouldn't line up anymore. You'd have to make some lift brackets for them. I thought about getting beef bars now that I have te body lift but I'm going to make a set of rock sliders instead.

Idk how they mount on durangos but on my 92 chev they mounted right to the body mount so I just had to put the bracket on top the lift block and they stayed at the same height. Jmess it would be awsome if you made a thread on that I was thinking of doing the same for mine cause I like the look of them a lot better than the factory side steps I have now it would be nice to have a seeing to go off of tho

I'd definately keep people posted on how it goes. Chances are ill have A local fab shop do most of the work mainly because I don't have a pipe bender and I like the curves compared to corners.

Yeah I definitly agree If I make them I was going to try to find weld pipe fittings because I dont actually plan on smashing them off rocks just need them to be able to hold the weight of the ocasional person stepping on them but I love how they look

My t/s lift took awhile to. The bolts weren't that bad. Of course I soaked them for 3days then it sat for a week before I did the lisf.

Mine? If so they are the bf Goodrich km2s. I love them. Pretty comfortable on the road and almost never need 4x4 off road. And I've gotten my d in some VERY hairy situations lol.

Same here. I used an air chisel with a pointed head to get mine out after about a full can of pb blaster and alot of twisting with vise grips.

What size are those tires like 275/65/16's they look as big as a 33 but since u had them before the body lift I'm guessing they aren't. I was looking at the same tire but my friend had them and said they wore down quick so I've been looking for something else now has that been an issue for you cause if I'm going to spend that much I would like them to last

They're 33/10.5R15. Fit without an issue with just the t/s lift
